Add spirits and mixers
Into the chilled mug or highball glass, add 1.5 oz vodka, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (or agave).
- 3
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice to near the top (about 1 cup of ice).

Top with ginger beer
Pour 4.5 oz chilled ginger beer gently over the ice to preserve carbonation. Stir gently once or twice with a bar spoon to combine the vodka, lime and ginger beer without flattening it.

Bitters and garnish
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top, lightly stir once. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and an optional mint sprig — clap the mint between your palms and slap it against your wrist once to release aroma before placing it in the glass.

Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Encourage sipping slowly to enjoy the ginger aroma and effervescence.
